With MailSteward version 8.x, a new system of licensing, registration, and upgrading has been instituted. It is no longer necessary to download the full version of MailSteward, MailSteward Lite, or MailSteward Pro. Purchasers of MailSteward now receive a license key. Entering the license key into the demo version will activate all of the features and remove the demo's 3,000 email limit. When a new release is available, the MailSteward application will notify the user and optionally download, install, and relaunch it.
For registered users of MailSteward, MailSteward Lite, or MailSteward Pro previous to version 8.x, there is a $20 charge to upgrade. Registered users of pre-8.x versions of MailSteward Lite that choose to upgrade will receive a license for the full MailSteward application, rather than the 8.x version of MailSteward Lite. Upgrades to the 8.x version of the MailSteward Site License and the MailSteward Pro Site License are also $20.
If you are a registered user of a previous version of MailSteward, you can upgrade to version 8.x by taking the following steps. Once you have upgraded, subsequent releases will be downloaded and installed from within the MailSteward application.
1. Purchase the $20 MailSteward upgrade license at the pubblog store.
2. Enter your last name and your original order id from your previous purchase of MailSteward, along with the new license key you receive from the upgrade purchase, into the form below, and click on the upgrade button.
3. Your new license key will be entered into your record in the registered users' database, so that you can then download the 8.x demo version and activate it by entering your orginal order id and your new license key.
If you purchased in 2008, you can upgrade to version 8.x for free. Just fill out the form below, and leave the license key box blank, and you will receive a license key.
